Anyone figured out how to do these two? I've tried lots of things and nothing worked :/

So I tried to get this achievement by starting a new game and disabling cloud save. I am at lvl 10 and got multiple "Power Ups" from grass fields and icy plains. Now the thing is that this achievement did not pop. Am I missing something? Do I need a specific power up?...

So. I've unlocked the capability. But I'm hours and hours away from being able to get it because of how you've built the game loop. I don't know if it's just that the bottleneck that transfers cause is frustrating me or if it's just a bad game design and I won't know until the hours that it will take to get the red and blue energy to the base will take to pass....

Title. Not having them just adds unneeded and tedious energy management before a prestige. Diagonal links should he added as QoL upgrades.

Just started playing the game, and for some reason every second takes 3-4 real life seconds.. Is this intended? And if so, why not just use the actual time instead of making it all arbitrary?
